About
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata is automatically written by cameras and smartphones. It can include your GPS location, device model, and exact timestamp - worth checking before posting photos publicly.
How to use
1.
Choose a JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, PNG, or WebP photo, drop it onto the page, or paste it
2.
Read the key details, grouped into Camera, Exposure, GPS, Dates and more - use Show all to list every tag, or Copy JSON to copy them all
3.
If the photo has a GPS position, click View on OpenStreetMap to see where it was taken
Common uses
▸
Checking what personal data is embedded in a photo before sharing it online
▸
Reviewing camera settings for photography analysis

Verifying GPS coordinates or timestamps on an image file

Frequently asked questions
Which files contain EXIF data?
Photos straight from a camera or phone - usually JPEG or HEIC, sometimes TIFF. PNG and WebP files can carry EXIF but rarely do, and GIF, BMP and SVG files do not use it. Screenshots, edited images and photos shared through messaging apps or social media are often stripped of it, in which case the viewer reports that no EXIF metadata was found. HEIC and most TIFF files can only be previewed in Safari, but their metadata is read in any browser.
Can GPS coordinates reveal my location?
Yes. If your camera or phone embeds GPS data, the viewer shows the latitude and longitude where the photo was taken, with a View on OpenStreetMap link to the spot. Many people strip EXIF data before sharing photos publicly for this reason.
Why does the date taken have no time zone?
EXIF dates record the camera clock without a time zone, so they are shown exactly as recorded, in your browser's date format. Many newer cameras and phones also store their offset from UTC, which appears as Time zone (taken). GPS date and time, when present, are in UTC and listed under Show all.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The image is read entirely in your browser using the exifr library, and no image data is transmitted to any server. The OpenStreetMap link is only opened if you click it.
How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?
This tool only reads metadata. A copy made with the Image Compressor or Image Format Converter is re-encoded from the pixels alone, so it carries no EXIF - camera details and GPS position included. You can also use a dedicated metadata removal app, or the option many phones offer to leave out location when sharing a photo.
